Lawler, Rebecca L.

Lisa Vance is a trial lawyer who has won significant verdicts for companies with challenging disputes. These include dangerous vicarious liability claims of sexual assault and murder as well as document-intensive national litigation. Ms. Vance has tried first impression cases at all levels of state and federal courts throughout the southwest, arguing emergent theories of law in trial and on appeal.

Over the last decade, Ms. Vance’s practice has included a central focus on family and marital disputes. She promotes a gentler focus on marital termination, convinced that a family’s energies should be spent on the healthy development of children, rather than concentrating on marital angst. Ms. Vance works closely with mental health providers, so that clients can heal, rather than continue to wound those they do, and have, loved. As a result, the firm promotes collaborative law for marital disputes, whenever appropriate. When necessary, however, to protect families, Ms Vance's trial skills successfully promote the best interests of her clients and their children.
As an early provider of legal services to web companies engaged in e-commerce, Ms. Vance’s privacy and internet-related commerce interests remain a consistent facet of her law practice. Ms. Vance is a frequent lecturer on HIPAA and other privacy-related topics, having addressed UK pharmaceutical companies about American privacy rights and Texas psychologists. She is published on the web.
